Updated June 28, 2009 Helping find Missing Parsis
and Zoroastrians Every one in two missing Parsi cases referred to us, gets solved! Hi and welcome to TheMissingParsi.com My name is Ader Gandi and I live in San Francisco, California, USA. My email address is Ader@Gandi.com and AderGandi@gmail.com. Currently, I am in Bombay. You can reach me on my cell phone 93249 16509 I, along with Yazdi Tantra in Bombay, started TheMissingParsi.com on October 1st. 2005. Our idea behind the TheMissingParsi.com is simple: use the power of the Internet to help fellow Parsis and Zoroastrians connect with people they have lost touch with. This idea came to me as a result of the many requests from fellow Parsis all over the world who would ask if I knew of someone they used to know, who they had since lost touch with, and could I help them find the person. I would get these requests because I am the founder of www.TheParsiChronicle.com which is visited by 300 people daily. TheMissingParsi.com is going to help people with such requests in the following 3 ways: 1. You can write me an email at Ader@Gandi.com providing me with the details of the missing Parsi in your life. The more detail you provide, the more chances of finding the person: their approximate age, how and where you knew them from, their married and maiden names, when and where you had last contact with them, joint friends you knew, etc. PLEASE ADD "MISSING PARSI" IN THE SUBJECT LINE OF THE EMAIL. I will post your email on this web site, which is now being read by 100 Parsis daily. Hopefully one of them will know the whereabouts of your missing Parsi and will respond directly to you or to me. To see our current listing of missing Parsis, click here. 2. It will provide a comprehensive listing of all electronic directories of Parsis and Zoroastrians available on the Internet. To see our current listing of such directories, click here. This is a work in progress that needs your help. If you are aware of additional electronic Parsi Zoroastrian directories, please send me an email at Ader@Gandi.com and I will add them to the list. 3. It will provide a listing of all known web resources of tracking down missing people. To see our current listing of such resources, click here. This also is a work in progress that needs your help. If you know of additional electronic resources, please send me an email at Ader@Gandi.com and I will add them to the list. I welcome your comments and suggestions. You can subscribe to future news about Parsis and Zoroastrians by emailing Ader@Gandi.com with the words subscribe to the Parsi Chronicle in the subject line.

Case #200 (Posted June 28, 2009)
Greetings from Cape Town! My name is George Troupe and I am
a native of Kingston-upon-Hull in East Yorkshire, England.
I went to Hull College of Technology 1963-1965 and had three Parsi
friends at the college, namely Sam Kapadia, Danny Rustomji
and Pilloo Medhora. When I went to sea in the U.K. Merchant Navy in
July 1965, one of my first stops was Bombay and I met their families who all
stayed in Cusrow Baug. I became particularly close friends with
Pilloo Medhora who also went to sea in the mid to late 60's. He
gave up the sea after a few years and I believe he married, living at 7
Shalimar Road, Acton, W3, West London. I stayed at sea for 30 years but I
lost contact with Pilloo around 1970. I did a Google search for his name and
it came up with a Pilloo Medhora living in Pinner, Middlesex which is West
London so it could be him. Maybe he moved house to the next suburb. It was
an entry on a sports page called 'the 4th game' dated the 25th January 2007
but I cannot find anything more recent. I cannot find a telephone number for
him in the on-line UK telephone directory so perhaps he just has a cellphone.
This is the web page entry "Name: Pilloo
Medhora Location: Pinner - Middx. Sam
already knows playing at Emirates is looking at 3 Nil drubbing, what goes
round comes round!" I would very much like to get in touch with Pilloo
again. As I am now 62 years old, Pilloo will probably be around 68.
Possibly he has Parsi friends who frequent your website. Any assistance you
may be able to give would be much appreciated. Many thanks. Kind regards,
George Troupe Cape Town, South Africa. gtroupe@telkomsa.net

Case #199 (Posted June 16, 2009) Hi Ader, Your website has helped reunite a lot of missing Parsis and I am hoping that it would do the same for me. I am looking for some of my school friends. We all went to BILLIMORIA HIGH SCHOOL, PANCHGANI and graduated in 1976. All about 48-50 years of age today. They are: CYRUS JALNAVALA – He used to live in Malcolm Baug, Jogeshwari. DOSU MEDHORA – The last I had heard was that he had moved to somewhere near Toronto, Canada. ZARIR SETHNA – No idea where he may be but I think he was from Delhi. RUSI MOTIVALA - Was originally from Dubai and maybe still lives there. My name is Marzban Daroowalla (known as Daroo in Billimoria School). I now live in Westminster, Maryland, USA. I used to live in Khareghat Colony, Bombay and my family owned DICK JOYCE (Wine Shop) at Gowalior Tank, Bombay.

Thank you. Case #197 (Posted May 26, 2009) Dear Sir, I came upon your site quite by accident, let me add I was thrilled at my luck. I have lost touch with a few friends I knew in Mumbai in school. Dear friends who I shared a lot of laughter, tears and growing up years. We studied in the Fort Convent of Jesus and Mary in colaba in the 60s and 70s. They are married I am sure and the last time I had met them was in the late 1980s. 1. Nina Mehta now Nina Unwala lived in Brady's Flats, Sorab Barucha Road. Was in England after her marriage. Her parents: Freny and Feroz Mehta. Nina her sister anaita, and brother sharouk and I would spend the evenings playing in Khusro bagh where her grandparents lived. I cannot remember her grandfathers name, but we used to call him Jhangopapa. 2. Rhoda Rustomji I do not know her name after marriage. Lived down the road from the school and as far as my knowledge goes moved to America after marriage. Her mother if I remember correctly used to have workers who used to embroider sarees from her home. One of my wedding sarees was embroidered there. I know Rhoda has an older sister. 3. Tanaz Boywala I have no idea if she married, I know she was Rhodas first cousin and lived in the same building as Rhoda. The name of the building eludes me but I can see it in my minds eye. She worked for AirIndia for quite a while. Her mother was Rhodas fathers sister. She too had an older sister. Name eludes me.It would be nice if I could get email ids/addresses or phone numbers, to enable me to get in touch with them. Thanks and Regards Nasreen Abdul Khader (nee Kably) nasreenkhader@gmail.com If you have any info, please write directly to nasreenkhader@gmail.com and copy Ader@Gandi.com so it can be recorded as a solved case. Thank you. SOLVED (June 10, 2009) Dear Sir, I thought I should let you know that Rhoda's son got in touch with me after reading your posting. Mail appended. All I can say is thank you. Regards Nasreen From: Jimmy Armani To: nasreenkhader@gmail.com Sent: Tuesday, June 09, 2009 6:01 AM Subject: Rhoda Rustomji Hello Nasreen, I am writing to inform you that Rhoda Rustomji (Rhoda Irani after marriage) is my mother. I accidentially came across your posting in www.themissingparsi.com while doing a Google search on my grandmother (Khorshed). What a coincidence! Our family now lives in California. My mom was excited at the news of your posting. I have given her your e-mail address and I am sure she will contact you soon. Her e-mail address is rhodairani@gmail.com. Regards, Jimmy (Jamsheed) Further updated (June 10, 2009) Dear Nasreen, We know both Nina Unwalla and Tanaz Boywala very well. Both live in Bombay, Nina in Colaba and Tanaz (now Bahadurji) near Kemps Corner. I have sent your post to both of them by e-mail ..... and hopefully they should be in touch with you very shortly. If you do not hear soon, please let me know and I will call them and ask consent to release their details to you. regards, Jal & Ruki Mehta (London) jal.mehta1@btopenworld.com
Case #196 (Posted May 24,2009) Hi Ader, Thanx
a bunch for the great job you do, a few words can't substitute my gratitude
towards you. A wonderful thought at getting people together. At least
someone uses the internet to benefit a small community like ours. I was
hoping to find an old pal of mine from J.N. Petit Technical High
School, Poona (now Pune). His name happens to be Aspi
Marolia, as per the info I had was that his parents lived in
Baharin, but he studied in Poona in mid 70s,
and later even when we were in Bombay we had known our whereabouts but
around 1989 or 1990s I lost touch with him. Another person I am looking for
was a great pal from Gamadia Boys Hostel during the late 80s
he was with us and his name is Jamshed Sanjana, heard that
he had moved to the US, but has disappeared from the face
of the earth since then. Would be great to get in touch with both of them
and would highly appreciate your help in that. Get back to me if possible
with some news. Thanks Ader, good luck hunting them. Truly,
Aspi Tamboli aspi@email.com If you have any info, please write directly to aspi@email.com and copy Ader@Gandi.com so it can be recorded as a solved case. Thank you.
Case #195 (Posted May 17, 2009) hi mr. ader,
i am hoping you will be able to help me find a classmate from
Nazareth Convent, Ooty. I had a written a request around May 5,
2009 in the current listing site, but do not seem to find it now. I take it
I did something wrong and therefore, am writing this to you. I am searching
for a classmate named Ruby Tumboli (maiden name). We graduated from
Nazareth Convent, Ooty in 1974. I have very little information on her
except remember something about her family owning a cinema theatre named
Tamboli Talkies, perhaps in Jalgoan, Maharashtra.
I am also searching for another school friend named Dilnavaz Mehta
(maiden name). However, she was much my senior and graduated from the same
school around 1969 or 70. Somewhere down the line we heard that she was in
Canada. If anyone can shed some light on these two
individuals, it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help and
foresight to set up such a valuable site. Take care. If
you have any info, please write directly to
Mehtakk@aol.com and copy

Case # 194
(Posted May 17, 2009)
Hello Ader,
Thank you for your generous work with this site. I am looking for my
friend Dinaz Deboo. This is her maiden name and she used
to live at Parel with her parents, brother and granny.
Her brother's a Chartered Accountant and I think they had a family
business. I recalled the family had moved to Marine Drive (I
think above Kaysons/Kala Niketan sarees stores). She did get
married, but I can not recall her married last name. We attended classes
for the Institute of Company Secretaries of India at Sydenham
College around 1986, 1987. I have lost touch with her for a long
time now and would like to re-connect. I would appreciate if you could
help by posting this on your site. Thanks for all your help to me and the
society in general. Best regards, Jasmine Tamboli (email:

Case #193 (Posted May
10,2009) Hello! I
hope you can post this on your website. I am a 27 year old male living in
Sydney, Australia and have spent the last 5 or more years building my
family’s family tree – I have it going back to the early 1700s in Bombay and
Ahmedabad. I am trying to complete a family tree for my wife’s family and
whilst I have a lot of information, I am missing one part of it. My wife’s
name is Rakhshandeh Appoo, nee Hira. Her
family is from Karachi. However, her maternal grandmother,
Nargiz Patel’s mother – Putlibai Anklesaria was from Bombay
and therefore my wife’s maternal grandmother (Nargiz) knows very little
about her mother’s family. I am looking for any information on
Putlibai Anklesaria’s family. The information I have is that her
father was Dadabhoy Anklesaria (1866 to 1941), and her
step-mother was Najamai (her birth mother died very young).
Putlibai had 4 half-brothers who’s names were Godrej, Padam,
Dhunjibhoy and Nadrishah. Dadabhoy (the father), owned a famous furniture
shop on the main street in Pune. Godrej owned a large fruit orchard
in Pune and was married. He was born in approx 1898 and died in 1972, and
apparently had no children. Nadrishah was a famous
physician from Bombay and died in a motor cycle accident. He was born in
approx 1900 and died in 1928. He was never married. Padam
was borh in around 1900 and died in 1956, and was an Instructor
General at the Police Training Institute at Nasik, near Poona. He
settled in Bombay after marriage and apparently had no children.
Dhunjibhoy was the only brother to have a child/children. He took
over his father’s famous furniture shop on a main road in Pune. Apparently
this furniture shop is still around but has been locked for years. He was
married and had at least 1 child. I am looking for any info on this family.
I believe the only living members would be possibly Dhunjibhoy’s
child/children and grandchildren etc. The biggest lead I have is
that they had a furniture shop on the main road in Pune. Hope
you can help! Thanks, Zubin Appoo

clareen02@yahoo.com Many thanks. Viraff Coorlawalla.
"The friend I am talking about is Aban Mundroina
who studied with me in an
art school in Pune - Abhinav Kala Vidyalaya. She used to live in
Cantonment area in an old, appartment style house at the end of
Main-Street, not far from Cantonment
Veg- market. Her father Jamshed worked as a
sales-person at Dorabjee's, her mom worked in
Hotel Blue Diamond.
She has a sister Veera and a brother Rohinton who's the youngest in the
family. Aban's husband, Khusroo Wadia was her childhood friend from
Byculla-Mumbai. They got married in '76 or '77 I'am not sure. I
never saw her again...she was full of mischief but a very nice human being
and I used to visit her house quite often. Wonder where she is ? I
looked up People-Search, alternating names/surnames but came upon a "Aban"
and Khusroo Wadia as a family member, settled somewhere in PA-USA !! I
dont think it might be the same person, but if she's somewhere there, I'd
love to see her since I an going to US anyway."

I just stumbled upon the missing parsi website n saw your request hence
this e-mail…. I have been living Bahrain for the last 3 to 4 years while
my husband has been here for 13 years now….. I do not know Yasmin
personally but am aware that they visited Bahrain last year with their
mom’s ashes. Her last wish was to rest next to her husband who has been
resting at the Aramgha here in Bahrain. I do think that one of our parsi
friends who have been here for a longer time will have some contact info
for Yasmin but I could not reach them…. I promise to get back to you

in case that helps! Best regards, Navaz

communication. I tried sending mail to Navroz as well . So far I have
been unsuccessful in locating him. Even Face book has not helped me in
locating him. I do not know anything about his present status. I tried
looking up in the directory of THE PARSIS. That too has not helped.
Would be too glad if you are able to find out and give me his
contacts- E mai ID, Address, Mobile No. etc. Regards, MALINI

Case #178 (Posted February 18, 2009) Hello Ader, I was just
browsing through, when I came across your website, and immediately
remembered one of my teachers. Avan Wadia was our
teacher for our "Community Service" course in early 2003, as well as the
Registrations Advisor at Champlain College ECMIT in Dubai,
United Arab Emirates. She was also our Advisor for our combo
fashion-music charity show, "Mambo Jambo," where we raised funds for war
victims relief. She is a fantastic lady, with a real zest for life, and
full of knowledge & experience that she would share with us (while
peering at us through her spectacles - to make sure we were paying
attention!). I also remember her rattling off in Gujrati with some of
the other students, and her quite liking hot chocolate! I was still in
contact with her until about 2004-2005, but unfortunately lost touch
when her email address was no longer active. If anyone knows of any way
to get in touch with Mrs. Avan Wadia, I'd really appreciate it if you
could drop me an email on
kasajwani@gmail.com Thanks! Regards, -Kiran Sajwani. If you
have any info, please write directly to

Case #176(Posted February 7, 2009) Dear
Ader Gandi, I am searching on behalf of my father Professor John
A Weatherell for a good friend of his of 50 years ago. They
shared a flat at the University of Leeds in the late 1950s
but lost contact, I believe, when Dr Sarosh Hirzi Kanga
returned to India. I believe that Dr Kanga would be aged in his early
seventies now. I would be very grateful if you could help these two
gentlemen make contact again. Yours sincerely, Stephen Weatherell

so it can be recorded as a solved case. Thank you. SOLVED? (March 23,
2009) Hello Steve, This is regarding your post on
TheMissingParsi.com, looking for
Dr Sarosh Hirzi Kanga. I
asked around and I found that someone seems to know Mr. Kanga...as a
client. I have a telephone number. I have tried to confirm that this
is the very same person you are looking for...I had given the same
description to my friend through whom I was able to get the number.
But she said she could not vouch for it...but I there can be another
Mr. Kanga who is around 75 and been to Leeds. :) If you are still
looking for Mr. Kanga, do let me know. I will share the number with
you so that you can confirm the finding. Thanks. Regards, Ashutosh
(April 1, 2009) Dear Ader, This
evening, my Dad Prof. John Weatherell and Dr Sarosh Kanga had a chat
for the first time in almost 50 years. They got in touch thanks to
Ashutosh Desai who saw my request on TheMissingParsi. We would like to
thank you very much for your fabulous website which has made many
people very happy. Best wishes, Steve Weatherell
